SHHHHHH!!

Psa. 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

At some point this past weekend, I simply shut down. Whether it was brought about by stress or fatigue, I cannot say; but outwardly I went mute for awhile. I couldn't tolerate noise pollution and didn't want the TV or radio on. I may have been quiet on the outside, but on the inside I was processing data and my brain was screaming out loud. This often leaves me unable to fall asleep at night because I cannot shut off the chatter in my head. I've discovered this happens when I've suffered a media overload on issues about which I have very strong opinions which may not be acceptable to others. Also, it happens when I have too much on my plate mentally to deal with. Anxiety sets in and vexes my spirit.

During this time the I came across Psalm 46:10 in my Bible study. Talk about timely! I read it silently, but it was as if I could actually hear God's thundering voice behind it--His majesty and omnipotence. The passage is both powerful and quietening to me. Mentally, I said, "Yes, Father." He was reminding me that I shouldn't let things get under my skin so; that He is still in charge no matter what mankind thinks.

Love Ya,
God Bless!
